If you're looking for purchase advice, READ THE BUYERS GUIDE FIRST. Then post, stating budget and requirements (e.g. size and performance).
Don't buy anything OTHER THAN T, X AND W/P SERIES if you want the Real ThinkPad Experience™
Recommended models:
T420 - 14", normal size
X220 - 12.5", ultraportable

Why ThinkPad? (also applies to other business laptops)
>Used machines are plentiful and cheap.
>Excellent keyboards - tactile feel and quiet.
>Great durability: chassis uses a magnesium rollcage for structural integrity, with high quality plastic body panels.
>Utilitarian design: e.g. indicator LEDs, 7 row keyboard layout on older models.
>Docking stations that easily turns your laptop into a desktop.
>Easy to repair, upgrade and maintain thanks to readily available service manuals for every model. Spare parts are easy and cheap to obtain.
>The best trackpoint (that red thing in the middle of the keyboard). Great for those who type a lot or hate swiping their fingers all over a touchpad.
>Excellent GNU/Linux & *BSD support.

Should I max out the ram on my x200?
I'm doing pretty well with just 2GB and 4GB swap on my SSD.
I've even tried to trigger swap thrashing and I had like 40 chrome tabs open to make it happen.
I never do that.

What's the most you've spent on a single software? What's the total you've spent on all software?
Including software licenses, excluding video games.
>€20 Windows 8 license
I don't remember what I paid for Windows 3.1 or XP, but that's the only software I've ever bought.
>>59190136
I spent $120 USD on Windows 8 OEM and I don't buy software other than games. I find that most softwares have free versions or free cloud versions.
